OMG... It's still didn't fixed... :( Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-26 13:08:53] anomie at users dot sf dot net It seems that it could easily be fixed by having mod_php use the Apache-provided functions which are intended to solve exactly this problem, but the PHP developers seem to have decided to ignore this bug instead. Rather than a cron script, use a trampoline program like the one posted by jeroen at unfix dot org; we have something similar here, although ours doesn't impose an arbitrary run time limit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-20 13:28:45] peterspoon at abv dot bg SO, can this problem be fixed within PHP/Apache or it cannot? Do you think using funny scripts started by cron is a solution? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-27 15:12:09] jeroen at unfix dot org My solution to this very annoying issue (especially when Apache is reloaded and the from PHP spawned app is still running and your webserver thus simply dies off as the apache processes are gone, but the spawned app keeps port 80 etc open for you, thus making Apache never start again... http://unfix.org/~jeroen/archive/closedexec.c Compile: cc -o /usr/bin/closedexec closedexec.c Just call it like: system("/usr/bin/closedexec /path/to/exe arg arg arg") or whatever call you where using in PHP. It first closes all sockets !1|!2 (stdout/stderr), setsid()'s, forks, and then execv's the args given, doing a waitpid() in the other thread and killing the process when it runs longer than 5 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-30 00:06:18] support at ppnhosting dot com 5.2.3 also experiencing this 'bug' to the point of having to manually kill Exim to just Apache restarted.. the mail() function is suffering from the same problem. It is very annoying to see Apache failing to restart, because the MTA (exim via sendmail in our case) is already listening on port *:80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-07 10:45:53] martin at activevb dot de Will this ever be fixed... or shall we better rewrite our 30000 lines of PHP code in Perl? :-| Is it possible to use apr_proc_create() and apr_pool_cleanup_for_exec() directly from PHP source code without patching PHP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
